Dressing like you do drugs

Wanted the shroomery's opinion on this topic. What do you guys think about people who stereotypically look like they do drugs? For as long as I can remember, I liked growing my hair long. I've had long hair since I was 14 although since going to college its gotten considerably longer, touching my shoulders. I'm not one of those dudes who walk around in a drug rug, although I have a long pull over sweater with a hood that has some crazy colors on it. I also have this long black wool hat with a pom-pom on the end that I love wearing in the winter. Despite the fact that I'm happy the way I look, sometimes I feel like its just not such a great idea to go around looking this way anymore. In reality, I'm not a heavy substance user, really only smoke on the weekends. But I've got that hippie look, if ya wanna cool it that, goin on, and I feel like it just gives certain adults and occasionally certain girls a negative impression. Like I said, I'm happy the way I look, I enjoy wearing the clothes I wear, but I don't want people to get the wrong impression. Guess you can't please everybody Anyway, what do you guys think? When you see someone walking around with real long hair, maybe a baja hoodie, possibly some crazy patterned clothing, what kinda impression do you think this gives off?

My girlfriend told me that when she'd first see me at school she'd think to herself "I bet that kid does a lot of drugs." She was right! So I guess I look like a drug user

Youl give off the vibe of a drug user no doubt. You can do this while maintaining class though.
you could keep your hair long, but start wearing button down shirts and sweaters for instance.
Imo you can conform to what society deems classy/serious on the outside while having a non conformist attitude when given the chance.

Yea that's exactly what I do when I need to give off that classy vibe. My hair is at the length where I can tie it back in a small bun and that looks considerably "cleaner", than how it looks down. I'll also where a button down with straight leg trousers. I think this gives me a much more professional look. But I'm talking about on a day to day basis. Eh, I honestly probably should just stop caring what other people think and just be happy with myself. I don't love it when girls get the wrong impression about me, I'm not a lazy dude in the slightest, but who I am kidding, if a girl I meet sort of looks down upon a substance like weed, we're probably not a good match

I will wear weed shirts out to the college bars, parties, and to friends houses, but besides that I don't wear much that would make me stand out as a drug user. If anything, my voice would give it away more.

Yeah my voice/walk/vocabulary is pretty druggy. Not that I mind because my academics and inteligence stand on their own.

I feel like it depends what your goals are.
For instance when I was selling drugs, I'd wear shirts that basically advertised my business (Erowid shirt, crazy tie-dyes, shirts with trippy patterns, crazy hats, etc.).
But I know a lot of people that dress that way because looking like a drug user is coming into style. And IME the girls that are attracted to guys that dress in "druggy" attire are more fun to be around than the type that aren't.
But honestly, just be you man, if that's your style then rock it til the wheels fall off.

I have dreadlocks and a tie dye shirt that says "Acid Just Drop It." I also have dark circles under my eyes, my words are usually a lil slurred, and I can be pretty slow at times.

I used to look like I do a lot of drugs, but I changed my look completely after highschool, always have short clean hair, shave more often wear nice/new clothes, quit wearing hemp necklaces. I guess I still give off the drug user vibe hough. When I meet new people they usually realize quickly that I use drugs. But I guess I'm fine with that as long as it's not obvious just from looking at me. I don't want that attention form police.

I try my best not to look like a drug user. I do have longish hair (shoulders), but its straight up like woman hair, not shitty hippie white trash thin long hair, so I look pretty sexual and not like a pothead.
No Bob Marley 420 Smoke Weed Everyday clothing or music. No accessories, no tattoos, no piercings.

Exactly man, that was a huge difference for me, I was sober for 6-7 months and my appearance changed greatly.

I used to dress like a drug user. Long hair, patchwork clothes, etc. I pretty much just dress like a normal person these days because it makes life more simple and makes it easier for me to connect with the majority of people. I've got some badass tie dyes and GD shirts and stuff still though.
